non stop lino printing for… four hours? this is not even half of it, I think. anyway, I have opinions about privacy and governments and security, so I thought I’d share them. through the power of lino printing.

I went outside for a couple hours saturday and it didn’t end well. I do not tan, at all. Ever.
I am a mythical creature who goes from ‘Pale’ to ‘Lobster’ when exposed to sunlight.  




WHAT IS THIS THING CALLED SUNLIGHT?damn right we’re majestic.

some of the least-human-filled shots from that one time I took cheap camera’s with me to a festival and forgot to get the film developed and everything was suddenly vintage-y…

preview from my first time lino (well. first time since I was… 10). Anyway, lino printing, it’s a new old thing that I’m learning, it’s awesome, and I made a lot of mistakes. there are like, 20 more prints still drying somewhere in the school. the portrait of… me. yes. yes it is.
